It gives five different instances. In two, no reason was given for the termination, while in one, the termination is discretionary/other. In another instance, it was termination on humanitarian grounds, while in another case the termination was discretionary/other and humanitarian grounds entered into it. This is at variance to the Minister's response to Deputy Wallace a moment ago and completely discredits what he has said. We want to find out who gave the order and why. It is of concern to everybody, including the gardaí. If the penalty points system is too open it is not right either for the public or the gardaí concerned. The Minister said there has to be transparency and accountability but he has not responded to my questions. I detailed five situations, yet no reason has been given for the terminations.
